“OK”的来源和正确用法: 你会吗?
Hi everyone!
Yesterday was "R U OK" Day in Australia
昨天是澳洲的 R U OK 日
It's an annual event to get people to start having real conversations about how they are feeling, and to promote mental health awareness.
是一年一次的活动,让大家好好地聊一聊,谈谈自己的心理状态,也推广心理健康的意识
So today I'm going to teach you some different ways to use
"OK"!
同学们也可以看看下面的对话,学到一些其它地道口语
Meaning
Everyone knows "OK", but do you know what OK originally meant?
The term originated as an abbreviation of orl korrekt , a jokey misspelling of 'all correct' which was common in the US in the 1830s.
OK的来源是 orl korrect, 就是把 all correct 开玩笑地故意写错了,在1830年代的美国普遍。
Now, the big question is, do you know the different ways to use "OK" correctly?
那么关键问题是,你会OK的不同的正确用法吗?
Use
1. Use "OK" - NOT "good / well / fine"
最近遇到很多同学跟我说 "好的“ 的时候用错词!
把"好的"说成了: "good / well / fine"
不能这样说!! 特别是 well 和 fine
好的说成 well, 外国人根本不会明白你的意思!
好的说成 fine, 要是语气抓不准,可以给人一种不礼貌的,特别高傲或不耐烦的感觉
好的就是 OK / All right.
当然 OK 也可以 = 好吗?
I'll get back to you later, ok?
我晚点回复你,好吗?
OK!
好的
2. Use "OK" - NOT "so-so"
不要再用过时的英语 "so-so" 啦!
母语者不会这样说的
How was the restaurant you went to last night?
你昨晚去的餐馆怎么样?
It was ok, but the service wasn't great.
还可以,但是服务不太好。
3. Use "OK" to show you care about someone
一般用于你发现某人状态不太好的情况下。
Are you ok? You look at bit tired.
Do you want to sit down for a bit?
你还好吗?你看起来有点累。你想坐一会吗?
The manager just called a meeting. Is everything ok?
经理刚刚叫了大家开会。一切还好吧? / 没什么问题吧?
也可以说:Are you all right? Is everything all right?
Dialogue
Two friends are talking
两个朋友在聊天
- Is everything ok, Tom? You haven't been yourself lately
一切还好吗 Tom? 你最近状态好像不太好/行为有点反常
- Yes, thanks for asking. It's just my new job...
还好,谢谢你的关心。只是我的新工作...
- Oh? Aren't you enjoying it?
哦?你做得不开心吗?
- Well, it's ok, but I have to do a lot of overtime. Oh sorry, my boss is calling me. I'll talk to you later, ok?
嗯,还行,但是我经常要加班。哦不好意思,老板打电话给我了。我晚点再跟你聊,好吗?
- OK
好的
I'm fine只是“我很好”?不知道这个用法你会一脸懵!
如果歪果仁来你家做客,你问对方要不要来一杯喝的,ta回答:I'm ok
那ta到底是要还是不要呢?答案是:不要!在英语中, 这三个表达看上去是正面的, 但实际上都是在谢绝,婉拒:
I'm ok.不用了。
I'm good. 不用了。
I'm fine. 不用了。
-Do you need a cup of water? 你需要喝水吗?-I'm ok. 不用了。-Do you want some chips? 你吃薯条吗?-Thanks, I'm good. 谢谢, 不用了。-Do you need more rice? 你要加点饭吗?-I'm fine. 不用了。所以呀,一定要知道这三个意思哦, 不然会显得自己笨笨的~
02.
I'm taken什么意思?
当你问别人有没有对象, 别人来一句:I'm taken, 那到底是有对象还是没对象呢?在口语中,表示某人已经心有所属,名花有主了经常用到:someone's taken
Sorry, you're late. I'm taken. 你来晚了,我已心有所属了。
后面还可以+ with someone/something
Someone s taken with someone/something:
